Our story

We are John ( aka “Grizz”) and Carrie (who typically goes by Mom or Mimi but is otherwise without a nickname). People have been telling us for years that we should start a restaurant or a food truck, so after 35 years of marriage, we are making that dream come true.

“This is some of the best BBQ I have ever tasted. The brisket was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. Whether it's a stag party, Jack & Jill, or your basic backyard party, there's no better place to get your BBQ food. I am definitely going to be booking them for future events. ”

"Incredible people and bbq! John, Carrie and their team made us feel very welcomed. We opted for the ribs. The 1/4 rack of ribs was perfectly seasoned and charred. We didn’t even need the yummy bbq sauce that was available. Carrie’s slaw was crispy and packed with flavor…not too sweet, tart or runny…delish! Glad we stopped and indulged! You should too!!!"

"TL;DR: This place ROCKS! The folk's running it are sweet and the food is savory; if words could accurately convey how amazing this food is it would probably be described as Ambrosia. We might be outside Memphis, but we have out very own Barbeque bananza on wheels in the North East corner... Grizz's Smokin' BBQ! Legitimately it is hard to describe how delicious and filling this food is, a miracle to be experienced to be believed. Please, trust when I say you will love yourself more for experiencing this food when you're done with it."
